Injector circuit open

Hi, my 1st post in this site.
OBD2 has detected "injector circuit open" (pot2). Symptoms are misfire, but never when cold- can occur any time after reaching working temperature, not consistent, and very likely to occur on restart when warmed up. All other codes are the result of this. The contacts look OK. As far as I know the majority of these faults are injector malfunction. Last seen on these forums about 4 years ago, and that time was a consistent problem. As it is intermittent, the only merit in changing injectors round would be to see whether, when it recurs, the fault is in the wiring (ie same code) or the injector (code for a different pot). Is this worthwhile or do I stop messing about and change that injector? Thanks.

Re: Injector circuit open

I would pull the injector and swap it out with another one; say #6. See if the code follows the injector. If it doesn't, its wiring. If it does, its the injector.

Re: Injector circuit open

If the code follows the injector, then obviously you have a faulty injector. Change it!
